Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-3-2021: The Birthday Party

4th March, 2021.


Yes: it’s officially my birthday.

And, once again?

I’m not telling you my age, thank you … !

But if you want to put something in my tip jar, you’d be VERY welcome!

~≈🎂≈~

I mentioned, in yesterday’s Teaser, that the BBC were planning to revive BBC3.

Inevitably?

There’s now calls to revive Torchwood.

At least, according to this piece from the Radio Times, the BBC’s in-house listings magazine.

First things first?   I notice the cock-up.

The article mentions Naomi More: who bakes cakes on Twitter.

Rather than mentioning Naoko Mori: the Japanese born actress who played Torchwood regular, Toshiko Sato.

Secondly?

I’m not sure that reviving the series would necessarily be a good idea.

It’s been a long time since the show was on, after all, and it’s a very different world.

Personally?   I still remember Captain Jack saying that ‘his’ Torchwood, Torchwood Cardiff, was Torchwood Three.

Torchwood One was London: destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf.

And that Torchwood Two was in Glasgow: the man who ran it was ‘very strange.’

And that’s from Captain Jack Harkness!

But … ?   A one man Torchwood operation, a Dr Who linked, sci-fi equivalent, of Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe and Mike Hammer?

I’d’ve paid good money for that!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-3-2020: The Birthday …

4th March, 2020.


Right … 

It’s my birthday: he says, in his best Gollum voice.


And … ?

Frankly, I’ve a dentist appointment, today, my knee hurts … 

And, yesterday, I had the first of what’s going to be a long line of diabetes checks.

The diagnoses is near enough confirmed: all that’s needed now is a blood test to check my red blood cell’s fat absorption … and a urine test to check my kidney function … 

Hmm … 

~≈§≈~

JUST as a quick thought?

I’m on Facebook: as many of us are.

The fact it’s my birthday?   Means the site sets up a charitable giving page in your name.

Considering it’s had an impact on me — the condition killed my Grandma, and my favourite writer — I’ve chosen the Alzheimer’s Society as my chosen charity.

Feel free to put some cash in.
